Something terrifying happened on Halloween but let's start from the beginning. On the night of Halloween, my mom was at a Halloween fiesta, and I was home alone. Then I decided to take a nap because there was nothing else to do and I couldn't go trick or treating alone. So I went to my room and laid on my bed and then I heard a door slam and I got out of my room and I said," Mom are you back already "so I checked the doors and all of them were locked and I couldn't open any of them. But I thought it was my brother playing a trick on me so I just went back to my room and jumped into my bed. But then I started to hear footsteps and see shadows and I also started to hear giggling and that's when I realized something strange was going on. I felt super terrified.
So then I just slowly approached the dining room and looked through the window. I looked at all the kids in their Halloween costumes having so much fun. I then realized I wasn't having much fun being stuck with nobody home but myself. I noticed a large hand print on the bottom right corner of the window dripping a red substance. I soon realized it was blood. I screamed in terror and then shortly heard my name being called, it echoed through the hall and every room in my house. It was a scratchy voice that gave me instant chills in my body. I ran to my room, and it seemed to be locked. I soon realized I wasn't alone. I was the most frightened person in the world. That moment I realized that my death was going to come sooner than I thought.
My heart was beating so fast, I felt as if my heart was going to burst out of my chest. I tried finding a corner or a little place to hide, I went behind the couch. I was very frightened, I couldn't move. I heard the scratchy voice again, this time it said, ‘Listen'' and my television turned on. I looked at it and I saw the whole screen and it was all white, but then I looked at it more closely and I saw a creepy face that just kept staring at me with its glowing eyes. Then the television turned off. That day I knew that I wasn't going to forget this Halloween. I couldn't get that creepy face out of my head and so every time I blink I see it. I just can't explain how I feel and how it looked it was just to terrifying to talk about. And I knew that it wasn't a good sign at all, not even a tiny bit like from a scale one to ten it would be a large negative number, not a positive.
I felt as if the ghost was trying to tell me something but what, I wondered. I just stayed there in the corner and I was just thinking of how I was going to escape this one. So then I went on my computer to search about ghosts, but then on the computer it was typing by itself and it read, ‘turn it off ‘in gigantic letters and so I just deleted the words and I kept researching I just ignored the ghost. But when all the power got cut, I knew it was him and I was filled with anger and fright so I decided that it was time to kill this ghost or at least try and figure out what is going on. And so I got a flashlight and I stretched my arms to reach the book shelf and I got the book I was looking for it was called ‘How to kill a ghost. ‘And when I finished reading the first chapter I knew exactly how to kill that ghost or at least get it out of my house forever.
So then I crept slowly through the hall and past the dining room and that lead to the kitchen, and so I saw the ghost weeping and he was looking at bracelet that said Jim and he turned around and said get out of this house run as fast as you can just leave and never return tell everyone who lives here to and just take your very special belongings and just get out and never return. His voice turned softer and he said ‘Just go please. ‘And I ran to my room to get all of my special belongings, I ran outside and what I did was I turned around and I said, ‘But why'' just say no more he told me. My head was full of questions that I felt like it was going to explode. And so I just turned around I heard a large explosion and when I saw my house, I was feeling so hectic I couldn't get this process through my head, I was so confused. Then the ghost came and he said to me, ‘My son Jim the ghost put a bomb in your room because that used to be his room and when he was alive and he never let anybody go in his room. ‘So beware he, comes every Halloween and nobody can stop him not even me so don't even try. Goodbye now and those were his last words.
